Roger Labat - Lilith

Lot: "LILITH" (Inaugural Edition 01/20)

1. The Exclusivity Factor: Piece 01/20
This lot is not simply a unit of a series; it is the first print (01/20). In the collectibles market, the first copy of a limited edition holds a higher intrinsic value, as it is the piece that inaugurates the artist's vision on paper. It is the copy destined to be the keystone of any private collection of contemporary art.

2. Analysis of the Work and Symbolism: "The Divine Anomaly"
• Concept: The work explores the concept of the "Subtle Anomaly." Through the deliberate addition of a sixth finger, Labat challenges standard human symmetry to suggest a higher evolution or a mystical nature.

• Palette and Composition: The use of a deep black background (Vanta-black style) creates a void that pushes the figure toward the viewer. The contrast between the marble skin and the coppery and fiery tones of the hair directly references the Sevillian Baroque school, but with the technical sharpness characteristic of ultra-high-resolution digital photography.

• Narrative: This Lilith is not the fallen figure of the traditional myth; she is an entity of serenity and sovereign power. The tattoos and golden ornaments act as a visual armor that protects her independence.

3. Technical Excellence: File Quality "Museum Grade"

• The Support: The choice of Hahnemühle Museum Etching (350 gsm) is a statement of intent. It is one of the heaviest and most luxurious papers on the market. Its rough texture is not only seen but felt to the touch, giving the work a three-dimensionality that is not achieved with standard photographic papers.

• Permanence: Thanks to the mineral-based UltraChrome pigment inks, the work possesses certified color stability exceeding 100 years. The collector acquires a legacy, not just an image.

4. International Security and Traceability Protocol

The work implements a triple security system to guarantee its authenticity for life:
1. Signature: Hand-signed in the lower margin with graphite pencil (unalterable material).

2. Dual Hologram: A numbered hologram on the back of the print and a second identical hologram on the Certificate of Authenticity (CoA).

3. Hahnemühle MyArtRegistry: The work is registered in the global Hahnemühle database. The buyer can verify its authenticity anywhere in the world by entering the unique serial number of the hologram.

5. Artist Biography: Roger Labat

Based in Seville, cradle of great masters of chiaroscuro, Labat fuses Spanish classical heritage with cutting-edge digital tools. Its entry into the auction market through this limited series marks the start of a project of maximum exclusivity, where only 20 units of each concept will be produced, with no smaller versions or commercial reproductions, thus guaranteeing the non-dilution of the work's value.

6. Condition and Presentation
• Condition: Absolutely pristine (Mint). The print has never been framed or displayed.

• Handling: Always handled with cotton gloves to prevent the transfer of skin oils to the cotton paper.

• Shipping: It is shipped in a high-strength cardboard transport folder, wrapped in acid-free tissue paper.
